Brutalist Crown

Brutalist Crown. 2020.

Concrete is pushed toward the sky until it starts to feel ceremonial, the ribs of the structure meeting in a sharp point like a steeple. Midday light carves hard shadows into the columns, so every joint and seam reads as a drawing on the surface. The blue above is empty and pure, giving the weight of the building something clean to lean against. It sits between industrial and sacred, a small study in how even the most utilitarian architecture can take on the posture of a monument when you stand close and look up.
